The ABR believes in the value of Maintenance of Certification. All ABR Trustees participate in ABR-MOC.

Our maintenance of certification process (ABR-MOC) is designed to facilitate and document the professional development of each diplomate through its focus on the essential elements of quality care.

With this in mind, we recommend that all diplomates participate in the ABR-MOC program.

Those with time-limited certificates are automatically enrolled in the process, though they must initiate their activity. Those with lifetime certificates should consider ABR-MOC as an investment that will ensure continuing education, instill confidence, and promote the best interests of the patient.

All diplomates should keep the ABR apprised of any change in contact information or licensure.

For those diplomates with an MOC cycle beginning before 2006 (before full implementation of the MOC program), fees and requirements are prorated according to how many years are left in the initial cycle (NOT by when they began participating). Persons receiving certificates from 2006 forward will participate in full MOC cycles.

To view your particular schedule, go to Timelines and Fees .

There are four components of the diagnostic radiology MOC program:

• Professional Standing
• Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment
• Cognitive Expertise
• Practice Quality Improvement (PQI)

Please also see the MOC Participation Policy for detailed guidelines used to evaluate acceptable participation.
